Chapter 57: Flawless

Tan Xiao and Kong Xuan were standing at the door of the office. They could naturally hear the noise from inside, but they did not dare to come out to watch. Even though Ah Jin had already started singing "The Incense Ashes Are Poisonous" in his heart.
Kong Xuan touched Tan Xiao's body, picking up the barely perceptible incense ash between his fingers, and distinguished, "A bit of the smell of thunder and fire?" He knew how strong Tan Xiaoling was, so he immediately guessed, and went over the thunder magic in his mind, "Sa Shoujian? Or Wang Shan?"
Although they are not from the same system, everyone knows that the wizard is all-embracing. Tan Xiaoling should be extremely powerful. He almost asked the Phoenix for help before.
Kong Xuan thought to himself that he was still thinking about the good news that Tan Xiao wanted, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing!
"You have a very keen sense of smell." Tan Xiao exclaimed, "We have a piece of evidence. Can you smell it? See if you know who the other party is."
He immediately thought of the bloodstains left by the Schnauzer's owner, and was worried that he wouldn't be able to find him.
"Do you think I'm a dog? Stop interrupting me." Kong Xuan said impatiently. He was still concentrating on guessing the other party's identity.
"No, the incense ash was because we encountered another evil spirit. In order to catch it, Master Lu from the 404 office said that the mountain and the cave should be sealed. Originally, I was asked to come, but I said that I only worshipped one main god, so he was the one to perform the ritual. I just helped to clean up the incense burner, and the ash got on my body." Tan Xiao told the story.
When Kong Xuan heard this, his expression changed immediately. A flash of panic passed by him, and then he brushed off the corner of his clothes and said calmly: "I can't control how many gods a wizard wants to worship, and I'm too lazy to care."
"..." As expected of you, Tan Xiao pondered for a moment and continued, "Master Lu invited the Thunder God. He said he had seen my photo. Did you show it to him? You said before that you didn't visit any relatives..."
Kong Xuan: “………………”
Kong Xuan said calmly: "Bring the thing here so I can smell it."
Mu Fei rushed out immediately, holding the evidence in the evidence bag in her hand, "This is it." Then she probably realized that she was too proactive, and said to the already embarrassed master, "I definitely didn't eavesdrop on you on purpose."
Kong Xuan held it in for a long time before finally thinking of a reason, and started to make up for it: "Who in the Three Realms doesn't care about the progress of the sequel to the Classic of Mountains and Seas? They are all asking about the author's situation and urging him to submit the manuscript."
"Oh, then you have to tell them that we have cooperated with the authorities and have the database. It will definitely not take two or three generations like before." Mu Fei agreed with a serious face and would never expose her.
Kong Xuan opened the evidence bag, sensed the smell inside, and said with disdain: "It smells like dog..."
"What's that dog smell?" Mu Fei wanted to think that maybe the dog's owner was also a dog, but she quickly realized what was going on and took out a handful of dog hair she had collected from the Schnauzer. "Is that the smell?"
"Yes." Kong Xuan nodded, "Is this the blood of the same dog?"
"...No." Mu Fei murmured, "If there is only the smell of my own dog, then it means there is no smell at all. Such a clever way of hiding one's whereabouts is really hard to deal with."
But it’s not particularly surprising. Nowadays, everyone has some secret skills. For example, when Yunmeng Xiaofang registered his WeChat account at the beginning, no one could find the IP address.
"Just bring both dogs out and let Kong Xuan try them." Tan Xiao suggested. He remembered that Huo Dou was a natural messenger of the God of Fire and had some connection with the Phoenix clan. Kong Xuan should have a lot of authority over Huo Dou.
"I'll contact them right away." Mu Fei said.
"Then I'll go find the elder to feed him first." Tan Xiao walked towards the outer courtyard.
Kong Xuan immediately followed after hearing this and looked at the food in Tan Xiao's hand. He didn't get angry. He had wanted to ask a long time ago, it looked so rough... "Who is it for?"
It's so funny, anyway, his meals are never like this.
The down jacket that Tan Xiao was wearing today had fur on the edges, and he glanced at Kong Xuan lightly through the fur.
Kong Xuan froze, "What are you doing?"
He had just been away for a while, what was that look in Tan Xiao's eyes?
When Kong Xuan was in heaven, he would think about what it would be like when he came back every day. But in the blink of an eye, he was back in the mortal world again. Only then did the time that had passed become clear to him. It turned out that they had been separated for quite a few days. He didn't even know what case Tan Xiao and Mu Fei had handled alone during this time.
He was furious when he smelled the incense ash of General Lei, but the feeling was hidden and slightly sour, and Kong Xuan didn't say it out loud.
"Luckily you came back before the festival." It was not too late, Tan Xiao said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Kong Xuan. I hope all your wishes come true and your studies progress in the new year, and I hope you will only be in my altar."
He heard someone playing with a cat and walked briskly forward.
Kong Xuan was half a beat late before catching up, and found that his ears were a little hot.
Walking out of the area where tourists are not allowed, Tan Xiao saw that Elder Baoping was indeed there, and he attracted the attention of tourists coming and going.
The orange cat squatted on a corner of the eaves, like a ridged beast. The tourists below were taking pictures of him, "Meow, meow, cat, why is your ear injured? Woo, it must have been injured by catching a mouse."
"Whether Laomeici will consider it a work injury or not!"
Some people even made "sucking" sounds at it, trying to lure it down, but the orange cat was not tempted at all.
Kong Xuan heard the "slurping" sound and hummed a little in response.
Tan Xiao wanted to call the elders, but he noticed a pair of grandparents and grandchildren. The old lady took the can of cat food from her granddaughter, opened it, and said to the orange cat: "Huahua, Huahua, come down and eat."
The orange cat walked past the eaves, stared at the old woman with its crystal cat eyes for a few seconds, then actually jumped down lightly and looked up at her, making the tourists nearby couldn't help but look at her with envy. It turned out that there are cats only when there is food.
The old lady helped her granddaughter squat down and put the can in front of the cat. Seeing the cat eating with big mouthfuls, a smile broke out on her face. She carefully reached out her hand and touched the orange cat's butt, where the tail was.
Although the orange cat didn't say anything and just licked the can silently, its butt was pressed high into the palm of the hand.
The old lady's granddaughter also stretched out her little hand and touched the orange cat's side, carefully avoiding the place where the cat was injured, "Grandma, how old do you think Huahua is?"
"Ah, it's more than ten years old, right?" The old man narrowed his eyes. "When grandma was little, there was also a Huahua here. But that Huahua liked to meow a lot, meowing every day. It must be its ancestor, hehe."
"Wow, Huahua also has grandparents." The little girl touched the orange cat's ear, but the orange cat was still busy eating, ignoring the humans' actions .
"Everyone has grandparents." The old lady looked at the can, "But at that time, they used to feed Huahua with insects or leftovers. It's not like you have all kinds of cat snacks now. We don't have much snacks to eat ourselves."
The orange cat quickly finished all the cans, then jumped onto the wall without mercy and walked away, leaving only a chubby back.
Tan Xiao quickly pulled Kong Xuan around the courtyard wall and whispered, "Elder!"
Elder Baoping jumped down and landed in front of Tan Xiao, looking up at the cat food in his hand.
"Can you still eat? Do you want to take a rest after finishing your meal..." As soon as Tan Xiao put it down, Elder Baoping dived into the bowl, which made him feel sad that he dared to doubt the elder's strength.
Because it was cat food, and it was heard that the elders didn't eat raw food much nowadays, Tan Xiao simply chopped up the ingredients without adding any seasoning, steamed them and simply arranged them on the plate. Naturally, it didn't look as fancy as the offering made for Kong Xuan.
Elder Baoping has had a hard life!
That's why it was not like Kong Xuan who was picky about the appearance. It just ate quietly with big mouthfuls. "Ah," it took a big bite and squinted its eyes in satisfaction. Because of its squatting posture, the fat on its body was more obvious.
He really eats a lot. Tan Xiao squatted down and held his chin in his hand while watching.
Kong Xuan lowered his head: "Hey, why do they call you Huahua?"
Elder Baoping: “…”
The orange cat raised its head and glanced at Kong Xuan. At that moment, Tan Xiao almost thought that the elder was going to break his rules and cursed "damn it". However, the elder was still well-mannered and continued eating silently.
"The elder has a good appetite." After feeding the cat, Tan Xiao took the bowl back. The bottom of the bowl was licked clean by Elder Baoping. "Speaking of the elder, with your cultivation level, why don't you change your Taoist body to human form to practice?"
Liu Qingquan heard it and emerged from underground. He was also quite senior, so he knew, "When Elder Baoping first cultivated into a human form, he was handsome and elegant, and was also a big signboard of the Old Plum Temple. But he was always harassed by pilgrims, more than when he was a cat, and he was fed up with it, so he simply transformed into a cat. Who knew that later he found out that people would confide their thoughts or make wishes to the old cats in religious places, thinking that they were spiritual, which made him look like a full-time NPC, so he simply became a mute cat, cultivated silence, and rarely walked the path of the earth."
"...Is that so." Tan Xiao just knew that Elder Baoping had such a past. He thought that the elder just wanted to practice hard.
"I have arranged the interrogation room. I will also bring up the previous duel and interrogate them separately." Mu Fei walked out of the office and said while holding her cell phone.
That being the case, let’s get started.
The group walked towards the interrogation room. Mu Fei lowered her head and played with her phone. Suddenly, she heard a shout. Fang Zhu ran out of the lounge in shock. Ke Yunzhuang screamed, "Where is my daughter? Why can't I see her? My daughter! Mu Zhenzhu, where are you?"
"...Who told you to name her like that?" Mu Fei said speechlessly, "She was born prematurely, I put her in the sink and set up a talisman formation to absorb the moon energy."
Fang Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked over. Her face was still pale after giving birth, "I was scared to death..."
Kong Xuan missed a few episodes and didn't know Fang Zhu had given birth. He was curious about what the Rune Mirage Pearl looked like. This would also be included in their sequel. "She gave birth to a daughter? Let's see."
Mu Fei was editing a page and raised her hand to show Kong Xuan, "I took this with my new camera. It looks good, doesn't it?"
Kong Xuan couldn't see why she could be called a daughter. The only pearl spirit he had seen before was Lingzhuzi, who was later reincarnated as Nezha, so he could be considered a male pearl.
What made him even more upset was that the camera Mu Fei was talking about was the one that had just been counterfeited. Kong Xuan despised it very much and couldn't help but feel upset again. How come so many unknown things happened when he left?
Fang Zhu also came over to take a look, but he saw at a glance that Mu Fei's page was clearly a fake one, with a long string of zeros after the price. He almost had a heart attack: "...How can you really sell your daughter for fame!"
Tan Xiao also stood on tiptoe to take a look, "Wow, what a rubbish... oh no, it's so expensive!"
The sale of this bead would be enough for Mu Fei to retire right where he was, but Fang Zhu still couldn't believe it.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Mu Fei calmly enlarged the details page. It turned out that it said [Flawless, for display only].
There was no other way. The mirage pearl was too beautiful. At that moment, Mu Fei even felt that she had similar feelings to the Peacock God. She felt that there was nothing wrong with what she did. The Peacock God went to heaven to show off his spiritual witch everywhere, and did not allow others to descend to the gods. He was dissatisfied when he smelled the ash. Wasn't it the same as shouting, "This is my spiritual witch, which is super good, but Wuxia didn't come out, and you are not allowed to descend to the gods"? Then what's wrong with her being a salted fish and hanging around with her daughter!
Inside the interrogation room.
"Your accomplice has confessed, now it's your turn." Mu Fei said coldly to the Schnauzer, obviously trying to trick it.
The Schnauzer's head was bandaged and he still felt a little dizzy. It was really painful to hit a dog with the Mirage Pearl. He glanced at Mu Fei, whimpered and shook his head, just like a poor stray puppy, ignorant and aggrieved.
"You got into trouble in Nanchu, don't you know who is protecting Chu?" Mu Fei clapped her hands, and the door opened. Kong Xuan walked in slowly. He had changed his clothes from school uniform to fancy clothes, which made him look more impressive.
The part of the evil spirit inside his body was beating, and the Schnauzer felt fearful.
The Yuanfeng clan has been protecting the Chu area for many years and has a very close relationship with Zhurong. The Schnauzer was extremely anxious, and under Kong Xuan's intimidation, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"If you confess now, it will be considered as meritorious service while serving your sentence." Kong Xuan said coldly.
The Schnauzer was stunned for a while, then whimpered and lowered his head.
They had just interrogated the Beagle as well. The Beagle was more slippery than the Schnauzer, and even looked like a fence-sitter, but it also played dead when asked key questions.
Tan Xiao pointed at the table, stood up and said, "You know what? Not confessing anything is also a message."
The fact that it was able to withstand Kong Xuan's intimidation not only shows how powerful the Huo Dou itself is, but also shows that its master or accomplice would not dare to betray him.
Mu Fei also nodded. Their 404 Office has been doing a census, and the hidden powerful people in the human world are also the key targets of their order maintenance and census work. Combined with the fact that the sniper has no trace at all, could it be that some big boss is going crazy?
The Schnauzer shuddered, but not because of the speculation in Tan Xiao's words, but because of the fear of Tan Xiao himself.
——As ferocious as Schnauzer is, he was also impressed by how calmly Tan Xiao used a slingshot to shoot during a fight!
"It's good that you're afraid. Do you believe that our brother Tan Xiao will shoot you again? Your forehead will be shattered!" Mu Fei slammed the table hard, and the Schnauzer was so scared that he clamped his hind legs together.
It was really beaten into submission, but it really didn't dare to say a word.
Kong Xuan noticed something strange, so he grabbed the dog's head in mid-air and checked it: "Its soul and spirit are not in its body at all. No wonder it dares not say it and can't explain it." And it has an optical illusion, so people can't notice it at the first time.
At this point, Mu Fei had almost completely ruled out the possibility of Schnauzer or Beagle as sniper companions. To be precise, their status was not equal.
"At first we thought that the tengu were devouring the monsters, so they must have wanted to devour the monsters themselves."
But now it seems that is not necessarily the case. A hound cannot swallow all its prey by itself.
Mu Fei's phone rang, breaking her meditation. She picked up the phone and listened with a calm expression. The caller said that the traces at the scene had not been traced back to their origins, including the trajectory of the bullet shell. Logically speaking, the origin of the gun should be relatively easy to trace, especially since the domestic control is so strict.
Mu Fei said helplessly: "Could it be that this person is rubbing a sniper rifle?"
The interrogation can only go so far.
"Well, it's a bit late. Brother Tan Xiao, why don't you stay and have dinner with us? We can discuss this matter while we're at it." Mu Fei invited Tan Xiao and Kong Xuan to have stir-fried dishes together in Room 404.
Every time they worked overtime, they would eat the overtime snacks in the cafeteria together in the office.
This time was no exception, everyone gathered together.
"Sister Mu, what do you think?" Tan Xiao asked.
"What do you say? Investigate immediately, find out who is playing tricks, and then kill... and sentence them." Kong Xuan was full of fighting spirit, and it seemed that he wanted to pull up his sleeves and jump up, but at least he had received such a long education that he knew to change his words.
"We have to investigate for sure." Mu Fei's face was green. He didn't know how big the investigation would be, but it would cover at least one province, considering that a Yorkshire had appeared near Yunmeng Lake. "It's a big case. We have to warn the monster tribe not only to be careful of the monster-killing disk, but also to be careful when traveling. It's okay for old monsters, but we're afraid of new monsters like ."
Jiao Guangquan pushed a cart to bring Xiaochao over. Jiao Guangquan had changed his skin to Yu Zhenzhen's, probably because she was the one he liked most among his users.
The girl was arranging the stir-fries diligently.
Its current master, Mu Fei, held the phone in one hand and yelled, "Oh my god!"
Everyone looked at her, what happened?
"I just reported this matter urgently. Do you remember Mr. Xu?" Mu Fei was asking Tan Xiao. Tan Xiao naturally remembered him. He had met him at the Tomb of King Chu. He was Mu Fei's former partner. Later, he was transferred there because of a major case in another province and lack of manpower.
"Mr. Xu said that he has been busy with a serial case in Qi Province for a long time. The latest clue he found is that the murderer may be - a Yorkshire terrier." After Mu Fei finished speaking, he saw that everyone was as stunned as he was.
Mu Fei even felt relieved since she was not the only one who was busy with baldness, and she felt relaxed. "Then we must combine the investigations now. Haha, let's eat first."
Tan Xiao said to Kong Xuan, who was standing beside him with an inexplicably agitated aura, "If school wasn't about to start, would you want me to go after him right away?"
"No." Kong Xuan was puzzled. He had only thought about the pursuit for three seconds. Up to now, he had been thinking about something else. "I...didn't you say that you would tell me good news when you come back?"
But Kong Xuan had waited for so long and Tan Xiao didn't say anything, which made him a little annoyed.
"Did you hear that?" This was unexpected, but reasonable. Tan Xiao directly pulled up the online disk and said, "It's been prepared a long time ago. It contains the real test questions that Yu Zhenzhen sent me. I copied them to the memory card for you. You can use your phone to read them, or print them out."
Kong Xuan: “…………”
Kong Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "That's great."
"Well, I've seen it. This set of questions is really, really good!" Tan Xiao praised, "Yu Zhenzhen is very generous."
"Well, everyone sit down and eat. Don't stand. This is not a meeting." Mu Fei asked everyone to sit down and the food was ready.
Jiao Guangquan followed his master's instructions and found a sofa to sit down. Then he realized that there were more people than seats, so Mu Fei brought out some red plastic stools. Tan Xiao also sat on a single sofa, but Kong Xuan was still standing.
As a newcomer, Jiao Guangquan was already a little restless, and he became even more panicked after seeing this. He felt that he still had a lot to learn in terms of receiving great gods. He stood up and offered his seat, saying awkwardly, "Great Peacock God, please sit here."
Kong Xuan glanced at it, what's the point! !
Kong Xuan was just disdainful of the fact that this guy had copied him in the past, but the main thing was that this guy was still using Yu Zhenzhen's skin. How could Kong Xuan not be angry when seeing this, not to mention this rude remark. Without saying anything, he sat sideways on the armrest of Tan Xiao's sofa.
Jiao Guanghuan: “…”
Jiao Guangquan sat back down, looking dusty and dirty.
After eating, Tan Xiao took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cut some fruit, while the others praised Mu Fei's Xianyu page and expressed their desire to appreciate Mu Fei's daughter more carefully.
"She's basking in the moonlight. Don't worry, we'll send her to work as soon as a full moon comes. I've already agreed that she'll make bullets for Brother Tan Xiao. Hahaha." When Mu Fei mentioned Tan Xiao's bullets, everyone laughed knowingly.
As a group that has fought together, everyone knows this joke, Tan Xiao's extremely ferocious Taiyin slingshot.
Only Kong Xuan.
He felt the gap again! He had only been away for less than a month, but what about Tan Xiao's bullets? The more people joked, the more annoyed Kong Xuan became. The sourness that had been appeased by Tan Xiao once again rose up.
Kong Xuan asked in a strange tone, "It sounds like Tan Xiao's special move is now a slingshot?"
He also thought that Tan Xiao's ultimate move should be to summon the peacock.
The atmosphere on the scene changed again.
No one dared to speak. Although Tan Xiao was very capable and his spiritual response was really strong, it was really hard to worship a great god...
Without Tan Xiao, no one felt they could appease Peacock.
Jiao Guangquan jumped up from his seat excitedly: "That's right, Master, you were not there! You didn't see anything!"
Kong Xuan said coldly: "Yeah, I didn't see it."
"I saw it, haha!" Jiao Guangquan laughed heartily. It finally found its place of use.
Everyone: “…”
Focus aperture...Danger!
Mu Fei was almost in tears, worrying about the new person she had finally welcomed.
But Jiao Guangquan came forward, put his hands together and turned them over, which became a display screen. He said happily, "And I took pictures of everything. You should especially look at this set of close-ups. This is the spiritual master using the Taiyin slingshot he made by analogy to shoot the master of the thief dog. It was really dangerous at that time!"
On the screen, the composition is extremely tense, with dark clouds pressing down from above. Tan Xiao pulls the Taiyin slingshot, the projectile shoots out, and the runes radiate the force of thunder.
Kong Xuan watched intently, his dissatisfaction unconsciously dissipated. He could almost feel from the picture the sudden change in the situation at that time. It was Tan Xiao with a calm look, who once again used his homemade magic (weapons) to secure the victory.
"Look at something else." Kong Xuan said, "You have good pixels."
